Gumball 3000 2012: Ferrari 458 Italia Donut

When a team that's getting ready to compete in the Gumball Rally is placing the decals for the event on its car, the vehicle's tires are scared, very scared, because they now that this name means they'll be punished for the next week or so.
We're now bringing you an example that perfectly demonstrates why the Gumball 3000 decals scare away a supercar's tires. We are talking about a clip that shows a Ferrari 458 baking donuts at this year's edition of the event. The clip, which comes from Youtube user Shmee150, allows us to see a 458 punishing its rear tires and turning them into a cloud of smoke, with the fun taking place in Albuquerque.

The 2012 Gumball Rally is taking participants on the following route: New York City (start, May 25th); Toronto, Canada (May 25th); Indianapolis (May 26th-27th); Kansas City (May 28th); Santa Fe (May 29th); Las Vegas (May 30th); Los Angeles (finish, May 31st).
